IMPROVEMENT IN SEWING-CABINETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 167,589, dated September 7, 1870; application filed May 31, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED TOSTEVIN, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Combination Sewing-Cabinet and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters marked thereon.

My sewing-cabinet, for which I desire to obtain Letters Patent, is an improvement on the sewing-cabinet, patent for which was granted July 28,1874,viz: It can be folded up into a compact form when desired, or opened and hung up when in use; is less liable to be injured by packing or transmis' box is fastened with a lid secured by a lock. Above the box is a mirror, 2. Above the mirror is a compartment, 3, provided with shelf, with pegs for holding spools of silk, cotton, 820., and above the shelf a Velvet pincushion. In the next compartment, 4,is a pocket, in which is fastened loops to hold the necessary articles for sewing and toilet purposes, such as scissors, knife, crochet-needle, glovehook, nail-file, stiletto, and other necessary articles, over which is a compartment, 5, for holding five papers of needles also, three flannel 0r cassimere flaps for holding separate needles, the whole case being made to be suspended by means of an eyelet in the flap; or, when not in use, can be folded up and fastened with lock, and be carried by a handle, making it a valuable companion for the worktable, or for the use of travelers, 850.

Figure A is a perspective View of the cabinet folded up and fastened. Fig. B is a front View of the cabinet when opened out, showing the Various compartments and the articles fastened in their proper places.

What I claim is- A sewing-cabinet, consisting of compartments 1, 2,.3, 4, and 5, and inclosing-case, constructed, combined, and arranged substantially as set forth in the above specification.

ALFRED TOSTEVIN.
